An IVF cycle’s success rate is determined by the following factors:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n IVF results are very much influenced by both the quantity and quality of eggs retrieval in a cycle. There is no doubt that a higher number of eggs retrieved increases the chances of a successful pregnancy. A successful pregnancy is also determined by the quality of the eggs. The quantity and quality of eggs can be improved using many medicines such as DHEA, Coenzyme Q10, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sperm quality and quantity are equally important factors in determining the success of an IVF cycle. A sperm is usually present in millions, so it is the quality of sperms that determines how embryos grow and develop. While planning pregnancy, avoiding smoking and drinking plays a crucial role in determining how successful the cycle will be. Often, antioxidants and minerals are recommended in order to improve the quality and potency of sperms. DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) is a test that is associated with a reduced success rate of cycles when high. Some medicines can help to reduce DFI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In comparison to Fresh Cycle transfer or Day 2 – Day 3 embryo transfer, ultrasound-guided transfer of Day 5 embryos, known as Blastocysts, has been shown to have quite a high success rate in FET cycles. It is recommended that couples who have previously failed multiple IVF cycles first go for the ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Array) test. This tells us if the uterus is ready to accept the embryo. When the uterus is not ready, we plan the embryo transfer a bit later. As a result, many couples who had previously failed IVF cycles have been able to get pregnant in one shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The success of an IVF cycle is also determined by the quality of the embryo. In the past, embryos were graded based on their structure. Currently, we have the option of PGS (Pre-implantation Genetic Screening) or PGD (Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis). These tests allow us to identify embryos with genetic abnormalities and discard them. By selecting the best embryo and transferring it, the success rate of the IVF cycle is enhanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1.
